Mandolinata-Karlsruhe is a plucked string orchestra, dedicated to superb music, contemporary as well as classic. A plucked string orchestra is comparable to a string orchestra: Mandolins play the role of violins, mandolas are the violas and guitars form the cellos. We currently have 18 active performers and are directed by Christopher Grafschmidt. We meet once per week for our rehearsals in a convenient hall in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Further information about the history of the Mandolinata-Karlsruhe can be found in our Chronicals.
